Texas Honky Tonk Socks
Description: "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" is a 1952 country song written by J. D. "Jay" Miller, and recorded by Kitty Wells. It was an answer song to the Hank Thompson hit "The Wild Side of Life." The song — which blamed unfaithful men for creating unfaithful women — became the first No. 1 Billboard country hit for a solo woman artist. In addition to helping establish Wells as country music's first major female star, "It Wasn't God..." paved the way for other women artists and songs where women call out unfaithful men. It was preserved by the National Recording Registry in 2007. Country music history aside, if you've always considered yourself a honky tonk angel, now you can let everyone know!
Description: Ernest Tubb began performing in the '30s, getting his first record deal in 1936. After a couple of unsuccessful releases, he put together his band, the Texas Troubadours in '43, and quickly became a popular act around Nashville, giving his subsequent records increasing popularity. By the '60s, Tubb was a gold record country superstar, and would go on to be known as one of the most influential artists in country music history. As one of the first country artists to feature an electric guitar in his music, he led the way for both the honky-tonk sound of the '50s and '60s, and the outlaw country revolution of the '70s. His deep, gravely, and slightly off-key singing voice remains one of the most distinctive and recognizable in any genre.

Description: A vintage outlaw-country wanted poster for the man who never needed Nashville's permission. Waylon Jennings rides in with a guitar, a cowboy hat, and one serious offense: playing it his own way. A tongue-in-cheek tribute to the rebellious spirit of classic Texas country.
